Save Atlantis RPG

I’m still not really convinced this isn’t all just a very vivid dream, but hi, I guess? I’m Neal. Someone convince me I’m actually not going crazy.

Changing my ringtone to "Bad Boys" was mildly amusing. Replacing all the coffee in the breakroom with decaf was risky. Whoever glued my mug to my desk, I will find you.

I still find it surprising that my best friend and my fiancé share the same birthday. It does, however, make for planning a party much easier, or one might argue more complicated.

Happy Birthday, Rose.

Happy Birthday, Neal.

ooc - Lissa would have sent invintation to a party hosted at Stone tonight for both Rose & Neals birthday to anyone who is friends or knows either of them.
Please pretend that went out at least 2 weeks ago - I just forgot

I'm sure there are many questions regarding what happened to me in the past few weeks and I thought it would be a good idea to address them here so that we can all get back to work. If you have any questions or concerns about me or my condition, please feel free to let me know. I will answer any question as honestly as I can.

While the vampires - the Strigoi - were loose in Atlantis, I was attacked. To my best understanding, their condition reacted with my unique internal conditions and nullified the Cure that was in my blood. Because of course, I had been rendered a vampire in 1864. I had spent several decades in that condition. Instead of becoming human and catching up with my advanced years, I was relegated back to the last time I was a Vampire.

One of the things about my own vampirism is that to not have to deal with the horrible impact of lives taken, I can choose to ignore those very important parts of my humanity. I did then and that's what I came back to. To anyone I injured or offended, I would like to apologize. I don't know how I could ever make amends and I only hope you allow me the chance to do so. The thing about humanity is that you feel it a I happily and gladly choose to keep my humanity. You won't have to worry about that again.

[COMMAND + SECURITY & POLICE + STRIGOI TEAMS]

We tracked and trapped Stefan. He's currently in a bodybind and John is bringing (carrying) him in - we'll need to keep him in a secure location where he can't escape, so Caroline and Damon can do their thing. But it's mostly in their hands now.

No major injuries to report on my team, but I think we could all use some sleep when things wind down.

[POTTERS + WEASLEYS + TEDDY, SCORPIUS & MARLENE]

Unless we find out info that there's more hiding, I think it's over now. But still keep your guard up for a little while? Please?

This city is more trouble than New York.

[Police Department]

Al, you're working with the strigoi hunters? We need an escort for another victim and the medical team at [location]. Take someone with you. Your choice. After that, contact Belikov and look into this.

The rest of you, we need to double patrols. We can't count on everyone being intelligent enough to stay off the streets.

[Family | Friends]

Stay safe. Lissa, you especially. No one outdoors without an official reason. This isn't the time for research or intellectual exercise.

Dear Atlantis, hello.

Your friendly neighborhood vampire is here to bring you morning greetings. Let's see if I have the score for the last few days:

COS barged into HQ, attempting to send all of you back where you came from, and managed to get quite a few before you figured out what happened (Daisy, +1 for you)

Vampires were (or are >]) set loose on your very streets and now you're running scared after dark, sure that they're going to exsanguinate you in one 711 Big Gulp ... fyi we don't believe in Styrofoam

You haven't had a party in at least 12 hours

Let me add to your list, all you fearful darlings. Some of us can walk in daylight too. We don't have to wait for night to fall ... we don't even sparkle and can get a really nice tan. Some of us are terribly thirsty.

I keep saying some of us don't I? Ha. I mean me.

EMERGENCY SERVICES:

Found another one. Young man, blonde hair, roughly late teens to early 20s. Weak pulse, looks like a broken wrist, maybe collar bone too from the way his arm is positioned. Heavy blood loss, probable broken ribs and other internal injuries. I can keep him still. We’re [location], not far from Coffee Me Better.

SHAMARA ANDOR:

Couldn’t stay in any longer, I’m sorry. I was going to bring us breakfast but I found someone who’s hurt, so I’ll be a while.

ooc: Anissa found Scorpius!

[OOC: Monday morning.]

[Atlantis Police Department]

Good job, everyone. It's been a month. There's a thank you in the break room.

[Non-PD Trouble Team]

Thank you all for your help earlier in the month. If you have a chance to stop by headquarters today, come pick up a treat.

[Atlantis Police Department]

Everybody - We've got a situation. I need all detectives in conference ASAP. Neal, Albus, you too. Everyone else is on call.

Ellie - Claire Callahan and Duke Crocker are on their way down from the base. Send them straight in, along with anyone else with base authorization.

Al - coffee. I have a feeling this is going to be a long meeting.

[Elizabeth Burke]

I'm sorry, hon...

URGENT NOTE TO PETER BURKE

Burke, we've got a problem. Something called 'Troubles' have gotten out into Atlantis, we're not sure how many but they're likely to affect some people.

Duke Crocker and Claire Callahan are headed towards the station now, I want you to head up the problem. They'll brief you, I'll also be sending a few extra bodies to help out.

Get all of your detectives there as well.

ELLANA LAVELLAN - LOGAN HOWLETT - TEDDY LUPIN - JULIA WICKER

Report to the Police Station.

You've been tapped to help with a situation, you'll be briefed when you get there.

[Elizabeth Burke]

This was rotten timing. I'm sorry all this happened during your birthday week. What do you say to caprese pasta tonight? At Cinders, not made by me.

So, hey. Longest nap in existence. The nightmare/fear thing held true on our end, too.

And waking up, mine feels kind of ridiculous. I've had a pretty longstanding fear of not being good enough, or being rejected by everyone. I can't fly, I'm not the most brilliant at magic, I grew up under a shadow that I blamed a lot of people for - and that wasn't fair of me. It isn't my parents fault I felt inferior to bloody well everyone. They've never been anything but brilliant at home - and here I've got loads more family to get to know. I've got the world's best mate, there and here, and I'm - I'm good. I'm lucky.

So from now on I'm gonna try to be more open and honest and less down on myself. If you catch me doing it, nudge me or something.

Still not going to play Quidditch. But I am gay, so if you need help designing outfits... Don't ask me, I only like green and grey.

[Ray Palmer]

I'm sorry about Dylan and Kal. I know it doesn't mean much, but I've never seen them not work these things out. We'll get them back.

[Potters]

I'm sorry about Al. He's a good kid, and he's getting the best care he can get. Let me know if there's anything I can do.

[Burkes + Neal Caffrey + Lissa Dragomir + Dimitri Belikov]

Dimitri, Lissa, let us know anything you need. We're here.

[Elizabeth Burke]

I hate thi Hi hon.

This thing keeps changing my usual greeting to watcher so I guess I'll just say hello. Teddy said I should introduce myself here and showed me how to use this thing. Pretty ace! I'll take it over parchment and ink, yeah? Clean, and I can just erase mistakes. I like it.

Call me Tonks. Just Tonks. The directory here shows a lot of names I recognize and a lot I don't, but since I'm a mum now I need to socialize good and proper. I got here today, apparently in the middle of some kind of situation where some of your men are gone a bit mad? Not my doing, I promise. I'll be working as a Detective, which sounds a bit more descriptive than Auror, but I'll take it.

I should have stayed in the bubble bath Atlantis drew for me this morning.

[Peter Burke]

I think Rachel might still be in Atlantis.

Not to say that I don't enjoy the holidays as much as the next person, but from a work perspective, my second favorite thing about January is that it's another eleven months until I have to deal with the insanity again. My favorite thing about January is that my son is turning two on the 31st. My least favorite is getting quizzed by the door to my office every time I need to go in or out.

Hi, Atlantis, I hope you all had a good Christmas.

I have two reminders for you:

#1, Sunday nights are tango night at Trocution. If you don't know how to tango, I do offer dance lessons. Just reach out to set something up if you'd like to learn.

#2, El Burke and I have been working together to plan a fucking fantastic masquerade ball for New Years Eve. I can promise a night to remember, so I hope I'll see you all there.

>> Where are you?

I can't believe it's almost Christmas already.


NEAL CAFFREY

Are you okay?

I just saw who showed up.

PETER BURKE

Have you seen?
